All PS5 games that support 120 fps: Destiny 2, Fortnite, and more

Jon Bitner

PlayStation 5 is an incredibly powerful console, capable of running today’s most demanding games in 4K without ever skipping a beat. Whether you’re playing a PS5 exclusive like Deathloop or taking advantage of a next-gen upgrade, there’s no doubt you’ll be in for a visual feast.

Beyond ray tracing and fancy graphics, however, several games take advantage of PS5’s processing power to run at 120 fps. Not all games support the feature — in fact, the full list of supported titles is rather short — but there’s no doubt it’s one of the coolest next-gen options available on Sony’s latest console.

Running games at 120 fps is simple, although there are a few steps you’ll need to take beforehand. First, head over to the Video Output section of your PlayStation 5 settings and ensure the Enable 120Hz Output option is turned on. This will allow supported games to run at 120fps — although you might still need to change settings for individual games upon launching them. This will vary based on each game, but 120 fps settings can typically be found in the Video or Graphics section of the Main Menu.

With all your software settings properly adjusted, you’ll next want to make sure your TV supports a 120Hz refresh rate. Anything lower than this won’t be capable of handling the lightning-fast frame rates your PS5 is capable of.

Once you’ve verified that your TV supports 120Hz refresh rates and you’ve enabled 120 fps mode on your PS5, you’re ready to start gaming.

While hundreds of games are currently playable on PS5, only a handful include 120 fps support. Several publishers are working to get the feature running with their old games, while others are ensuring it’ll be available in upcoming releases.

Running at 120fps requires an immense amount of processing power, and it’s not unusual for games to lower their resolution in order to handle the additional workload. Each game handles 120 fps differently — so make sure you pay close attention to your visual settings when enabling 120 fps. You’ll often sacrifice a bit of graphical fidelity for the buttery smooth frame rate, but it’s a small price to pay for the elusive feature.

Here are the games you can run at 120 fps on PS5, although many more are on the way:

  • Borderlands 3
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
  • Call of Duty: Vanguard
  • Call of Duty: Warzone
  • Destiny 2
  • Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
  • Dirt 5
  • Doom Eternal
  • F1 2021
  • Fortnite
  • Ghost Runner
  • Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
  • The Night Collection
  • Quake
  • Rainbow Six Siege
  • Rocket League
  • Rogue Company
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
  • WRC 9

New Fallout 4 Creation Club mod content coming with the Xbox Series X and PS5 launch.

Bethesda has confirmed that the current-gen update for Fallout 4 will finally release on April 25.

That's good timing, as a Fallout TV show just released on Amazon Prime this month to positive buzz. Fallout 4 came out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One in 2015, and this definitely looks like it will be the most substantial update the game has received since its last expansion was released.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch
father and son playing video games

The latest generation of consoles has been one of the hottest yet when it comes to performance, games, price, and even looks, with some getting the side-eye when they first came out. Even so, there are a lot of folks who might want to upgrade, and there are some great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals you can take advantage of below. We've done our best to go out and find the best deals we can, although you should be aware that there's currently a bit of a Nintendo drought going on, and most deals on the Switch and its versions that are worth grabbing are refurbished.
Xbox Series S deals -- starting at $275

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.
